WEISSENHAUS is a place of constant inspiration. A place that provokes beauty, truth and goodness and favours creative work.

Curvaceous


The Swiss artist and sculptor Evelyne Brader-Frank has been working for decades on the sculptural representation of beauty and aesthetics of the human form. Evelyne Brader-Frank was born in Wettingen in 1970. After completing a commercial bank apprenticeship, she began training in sculpting. At the end of 1994 she left Switzerland and moved to Edmonton, Canada. With her striking sculptures she soon conquered the local art scene and made a name for herself across the pond. In 2001 the artist returned to Switzerland and successfully continued her work and exhibition activities. Since 2004 she has also been working as an author, director and production manager for annual performances of the Widen Children's Theatre. From 2009 to 2010 she undertook a journey around the world with her family, which she documented in her blog "Message in a bottle". Evelyne Brader-Frank's works are presented at major art exhibitions and in leading galleries worldwide. Numerous works are in important private and public collections. The contemporary artist lives and works in Switzerland.

Inspired by classical sculpture, she abstracts, simplifies and idealises the human body, creating figures of dynamic elegance. Her material: pure marble - a pleasingly rich material. We are thrilled to be able to present these works of art created especially for Weissenhaus by Ms. Brader-Frank and wish you much pleasure in exploring the exhibits, which are placed all over the grounds.

 

Luminous art by the sea


Surrounded by a dreamlike natural backdrop and meditative tranquillity, the art studio of Kathrin Geller in Schleswig produces exclusive works with the finest materials. Beginning with luxurious colour lacquers, over the effective use of precious stones up to the processing of precious metals like gold or silver. Distinctive are the abstract structures as well as a sun-like and radiant powerful expression of the works, which is lent by the round Feng Shui-like form. The works therefore become ab absolute highlight of every room. Enjoy a small selection of the works in our castle and in the gentlemen´s lodge.

 

Tanja Thordsen

 

Tanja Thordsen's work as an artist is focused on the constant development and change of life. It is about making the complexity of life visible through colours, cracks and marks, not about pleasant and perfect surfaces. To do this, many layers of oil paint, but also other materials, are applied. To then in turn, partially and with the help of tools such as chisels, scrape them off to reveal lower surfaces again. Her wish is to invite people to pause, to take their time and to discover, search and find these paintings. To give free space to their own creativity.
